Description
Midway through the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln had a problem: he needed to find a general who would not only exhibit the fighting skill to defeat the Confederate Armies, but who could design a strategic plan to have all the Union forces working in coordination with one another. Enter West Pointer General U.S. Grant who had a bad reputation and a failed career history. We’ll discuss the attributes which propelled this rumpled and unprepossessing figure into command of armies totaling more than half a million soldiers.
